Ed,
What kind of joint did you use on these? It isn't clear on the drawings.
Hi,
The plans are all very simple and thus the joints are as well. A butt joint is used and I used screws to make it a bit stronger, counter sunk and plugged.
I should also note that most 1 x 12 material is now just 11-1/4" so the dimensions shown need to be adjusted. Of course if you use plywood this can be cut as shown or even increased to to almost 16" for little older kids to sit on.
We kept our in the bathroom for various reasons including having little one being able to wash their hands and see in the mirror..... you can also have then sit on it while you patch up scraped knees and well the list goes on.
I also made a few "doll" sized chairs of this basic design using sliding dovetail joints which also made it in to a puzzle...... I'll leave that for you to imagine.
Depending on wood selection any number of joints can be added and the "seat" does not have to be in the middle.... there must be fifty ways to do this.
